Feelings

I have no feeling

that's what the other kids say

I don't cry

I don't smile

I don't show any emotions

I haven't cry for ten years

I am fourteen 

I can't cry

It will make papa sad

I can't smile,

It will make brother yell at me

I can't look sad

Mama will blame herself 

So I just stop

Stop showing feelings

So no one will hurt me inside

They call me "iron face''

Even the counselor give up

I smile

somewhere in me  

I cry

in my heart

I feel sad

in my mind

But I can't show it

Even if I have emotions

I can't have feeling

Many a sad tales of youth involve this particular dilemma. The poem draws my empathy for the boy. I hope he will find a way out.

I love this poem! I really like how the feeling is portrayed and how simplistic it is but the simplicity contrasts with the intense emotion that the poem gives off.

Thank you.

seems deeply personal and therefore very sad but then that means you turned a negative into a positive and used it for this poem and that is a valuable weapon in the poets armor so keep it up, you have real promise and loads of time to fulfill it.
